Gurgaon team re-measures distance from highway; pubs, hotels optimistic

TEN DAYS after the Supreme Court prohibited the sale of alcohol within 500 metres of state and national highways, a special committee, formed to re-measure the distances of "disputed areas" from National Highway 8 (NH8), began their task on Tuesday morning. Sources as well as officials from the outlets which were remeasured claimed all the areas that were considered crossed the 500 metre mark, and will, most likely, be provided relief. The areas measured Tuesday include Ambience Mall and CyberHub as well as The Westin, Crowne Plaza, The Leela Ambience, Trident, The Oberoi, and Country Inns and Suites by Carlson.
